The Football Futures programme aims to provide a simple framework of coordinated opportunities to increase the potential for young people to participate in volunteering and leadership through football. It provides young people with the chance to increase their confidence as well as improve their skills, experience and knowledge in a football related environment.
Leaders in the programme will be offered support to gain football related qualifications such as the Level 1 in Coaching Football or refereeing qualifications. Young leaders can log their hours and be rewarded for reaching key volunteering milestones.
Volunteering opportunities exist in the following six areas:
1.) Coaching and Working with Teams
2.) Refereeing
3.) Running and Supporting Events
4.) Promoting the Game
5.) Respect Ambassador
6.) Running and Developing the Game
If you are between the ages of 12 and 22 and think that you would like to get involved in the programme, or you are currently volunteering and would like to be rewarded for the hours that you do please download and complete the attached registration form and return it to Gemma Thomas at the address supplied.
